Old Chicago refreshes menu to boost sales

In a move it believes will build traffic, the Old Chicago casual-dining chain has introduced 12 new menu items, including calzones with toppings and big-flavored but “lighter” tortilla wraps.

Mike Thom, director of culinary research and development for the 100-unit chain owned by Rock Bottom Restaurants Inc., said the new dishes were “specifically created with the taste preferences of the Old Chicago guest in mind.”
